• As has bean said all up and down the Florda Keys sepia masks are horrible and blurry.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
• Sample taken at KMTH.
I fly around the Pensacola, Destin area all the time and have not noticed that blurry scenery.
I will go, right now, and check at KMTH.
Update: YES, I agree. The water around KMTH is not good. I see what you are talking about.
You don’t see it in Pensacola and Destin because they have never added a mater mask to bring out the reefs and the water color along the Florida panhandle. They should have but I don’t think they know it exists
Thanks for your reply.
This is still not logged! Bug exists since launch on 2024
Why is this still not fixed or at least logged? It’s clearly a problem – anyone who flies near South Florida can see that – and it should be relatively easy to fix™. Does this mean that not a single soul from Microsoft or the dev team has flown near Florida in the last year?
@powersthatbe, please do something about this!
Yeah, I noticed this a while ago, reported it, and nothing happened. But I’ll vote on this again because it really does ruin South Florida and the Bahamas; it’s hard to believe nobody from the big team has noticed or been bothered by this yet. 
Don’t forget you can vote for your own topic too!
I have seen the same issue around Bora Bora. Parts of the water masks are not loading properly. This is can be also observed in the menu globe view. Main island of bora bora seems to load fine, but some neighboring islands do not load the water masks.
Is there any update on why this has not been fixed yet? I just got the new Key West and completely forgot how bad the water masking is around here. Feels like a waste of a purchase because the water just ruins the immersion and experience. Please take care of this!
